Suddenly!
The same eerie energy fluctuation as before returned!
This time Chen Feng quickly pinpointed the direction of the fluctuation, but still couldn't see the enemy's figure.
He only saw a red line appear on a disciple's neck, and then the entire head fell off.
However, before the head could even hit the ground, the disciple's corpse simply vanished before everyone's eyes!!!
Chen Feng's eyes widened instantly!
In that fleeting moment, he vaguely saw a gray mass flash by.
Unfortunately, the opponent was too fast; he couldn't even discern its basic shape!
The situation was even worse for those with lower cultivation.
They saw nothing at all!
In their eyes, the disciple's corpse had vanished into thin air!
If not for the bloodstains on the ground, they would have suspected they were hallucinating!
The situation temporarily stabilized. The entity didn't strike again.
But the more it was like this, the greater the unease and terror in people's hearts!
Because no one knew if they would be next...
Fear spread and grew wildly in everyone's hearts...
Time seemed to stand still.
Everyone's minds went blank, and all they could hear was their own breathing and heartbeat...
One minute later.
A third red line appeared!
And before the disciple's head could fall, the entire person vanished!
Chen Feng's breathing grew more rapid!
Because when that entity appeared earlier, the eerie energy fluctuation was weaker than before!
If he guessed correctly, those disappearing corpses were 'eaten' by that entity!
It was constantly evolving by consuming the bodies of cultivators!
Perhaps by the time it struck again, he wouldn't even be able to detect the faint energy fluctuations...
"Form the array!"
Chen Feng commanded, suppressing his fear.
The three elders from before once again deployed the protective grand array.
However, this time the array's scope was noticeably smaller, barely enclosing everyone within it.
"Two seniors, do you have any solutions?" Chen Feng turned his head, seeking help from the two elders.
"What solutions?" The Second Elder scratched his head in confusion. "What happened?"
"Why did those people just spurt blood and disappear?" Master Xie Yan asked with a puzzled expression. "Where did they go?"
The two elders expressed their incomprehension.
If they ran, then someone's head had already fallen off.
If they died, where did the corpses go?
As they thought about it, the two elders became increasingly frightened!
This was too bizarre!
We don't understand!
Then, the two elders, as if accustomed to it, huddled together, crouched on the ground, and trembled.
Chen Feng's gaze dimmed.
He realized he was grasping at straws in desperation...
The alchemy and medical skills of the two seniors were indeed formidable, but their personal strength remained a drawback.
And the current situation was clearly not something that could be resolved with alchemy or medical skills.
As for Ye Fan and Zi Yu, in his eyes, they were even less capable.
He had seen that Ye Fan's face had turned pale, clearly from fear.
And Zi Yu, being a healing-type contracted beast, naturally offered no hope in combat.
This had already been verified during their previous battles outside.
The situation seemed to have reached a dead end...
Fight?
They couldn't even see the enemy's shadow, how could they fight?
Run?
This place was boundless, where could they run to?
It seemed that only death awaited them...
Just then, a disciple suddenly felt a tickle on his neck...
The next moment, a red line crept onto his neck!
Then, with a whoosh, the person disappeared!
And with the death and disappearance of this disciple, the fear in people's hearts could no longer be suppressed!
Their eyes turned red, and they began to attack their surroundings wildly!
If they didn't do something, they felt they would go mad!
Chen Feng didn't blame them.
Because he was doing the same thing!
"Rumble—!"
Explosions followed one after another!
And amidst this barrage of attacks, another elder vanished!
"Ahhh, I'll fight you to the death—!"
"Rumble—!"
...
Throughout this entire process, Zi Yu had not made a move, instead closely protecting Ye Fan.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing Ye Fan's face turn deathly pale, Zi Yu asked nervously.
"Nothing," Ye Fan replied weakly.
In fact, as soon as that entity appeared, Ye Fan's spiritual sea had exploded!
The calm sea surface was instantly engulfed by a fierce storm, churning and roaring!
For ordinary cultivators, this situation would be life-threatening, let alone for Ye Fan, whose mental strength was extremely abnormal!
What was usually an advantage had now become a fatal danger!
Ye Fan felt his head buzzing, on the verge of exploding!
This time, no matter how he suppressed it, he couldn't control it!
And as the entity appeared more frequently, Ye Fan's feeling intensified!
His powerful mental strength prevented him from fainting, leaving him to endure this terrifying torment the entire time!
After experiencing another wave of 'tsunami,' Ye Fan's vision underwent a peculiar change.
Everything around him instantly quieted down, time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Then, he saw a distortion in the air.
The next moment, something appeared!
At first glance, the entity resembled a child of seven or eight years old, but its body was a bizarre purple and green.
Its face had no features, and its entire head was semi-transparent.
Ye Fan's heart blurted out a curse!
If he remembered correctly, this creature was called a Void Spirit!
He recalled his first encounter with a Void Spirit was in his first life as a mage.
Back then, relying on his abnormal mental strength, he had grown from an apprentice to a legendary mage in just three years.
But before he could even celebrate, disaster struck the continent!
First, the seal of the abyss broke, and countless abyss demons flooded the continent!
And leading them was none other than the Abomination Monarch from the forty-fifth layer of the abyss!
Faced with the life-or-death struggle of their race, various factions put aside their differences and united against the enemy.
That battle lasted for a full decade!
At that time, the entire continent had barely over a hundred legendary powerhouses, but after this battle, only a handful remained...
And the five remaining Saint domain powerhouses had all perished!
As for those below the legendary realm, there was no need to even mention them.
The continent's original population of tens of trillions had plummeted to less than five hundred thousand...
It could be said that this battle had almost annihilated humanity!
Just as they were preparing to rebuild their homeland, new enemies appeared!
The Void Spirit army!
These were species that had never appeared on the continent before!
They didn't know where these Void Spirits came from, only that these creatures were terrifyingly monstrous!
These beings possessed incredibly high resistance to both physical and magical attacks!
Even the forbidden spells cast by him, a legendary mage, couldn't kill a single Void Spirit!
And this was not the most terrifying aspect of the Void Spirits!
The most monstrous thing about these creatures was that they were not only immune to all mental attacks but could also destroy a mage's spiritual sea!
This explained why the demonic beasts they had encountered earlier were immune to his mental attacks.
It was clear that those demonic beasts had been assimilated by these Void Spirits.
Furthermore, Void Spirits were natural assassins, with the bone armor extending from their arms serving as the sharpest weapons!
The talent of Void Spirits was their ability to traverse freely between the real world and the void.
Once a Void Spirit hid in the void, no one could harm them.
And when a Void Spirit appeared, it meant someone was doomed!
At that moment, a Void Spirit seized the opening in Ye Fan's Blink spell and struck!
Its 'hand-blade' easily pierced through the mana shield and landed on Ye Fan's neck.
And Ye Fan, the sole surviving legendary mage, perished just like that...
Only the warriors and rogues remained to struggle on.
As for the outcome, Ye Fan naturally had no way of knowing.
He could only imagine it wasn't very pleasant...
